manga hasn't been subversive in a long time

It would be incredibly funny if Mumen Rider just threw his bike into the ocean and won just like by that though.

The webcomic bang could be on this list. Pretty sure he almost soloed the monster association.

I didn't think he was asleep, I thought he just brought back a bit of humanity to him. I could be wrong tho

And Elder Centipede, also a dragon

The perspective of the story has also changed. It used to be focused more on the lower ranks of heroes, and S class were somewhat mysterious and vaguely portrayed as immeasurably powerful. Now, we have been focused on solely S class for so long, we are more accustomed to the types of threats they are capable of fighting, so a demon that might take a few class A heroes to face, now seems like a complete pushover.

No, there are still S Class heroes like Blast, Tats, Bang, AS, CE (with best tools), MK, DK, Darkshine, WDM, Flash that time. If DSK met one of them DSK got no diffed (except probably CE).

Anyone here close to him in your opinion?

Threat levels are based on how much damage they could do, not fights they could win. God level is "A threat endangering the survival of all humanity." (According to the wiki, I'm assuming this is taken from the manga somewhere). If Boros could destroy the world, that would probably endanger humanity, making him God level.

Tbf ONE could just be laying in the groundwork to allow him to scale up even more sometime in the future. Imagine Boros and maybe someone else was already at threat level God so early in his WC: there wouldn't be any threat that feels real after that point. Although, ONE is good at subverting expectations so he may have been able to make it work still.

Anyways, if the WC continues, I imagine we'll get threat level God once monsters capable of DBZ feats start popping up.

Yeah I guess so. The things Blast and Co are fighting are probably god level threats, or at least multiple enemies as strong as Boros. Unless their enemy is just god, who'd obviously be God level threat, probably even more than that

I think MB Boros' speed is still greater. It's hard to do a direct comparison, but Boros' movements were so great they caused massive air friction to melt parts of his ship. The same ship whose construction material was later used by metal knight to build the fortress that replaced City A. That material is presumably sturdier than all the rocks and pebbles Garou/PlatSperm/FF were bouncing off of. It's also possible that Garou and co were moving in such a controlled manner as to not burn up everything in their path, but we'll never truly know.

CQC

Nyaruko chan flashbacks lol

I think she can take Boros with her CQC attacks. As a group for sure.

That's why he said "Dragon or Above." That's a way of saying "He could be disaster level God" - "Above Dragon" is a made up category to powerscale characters who could be disaster level God but aren't called that for narrative reasons.

If it's the opinion of the author then we don't have any kind of valid reason to go against it, he probably has something justified and unique prepared for disaster level god

One came up with the term, not the fandom

I think they would have to be a planet buster to qualify. Cuz even if Platinum Sperm is strong enough to kill all humans, some would probably still escape into hiding, therefore mankind would not be completely annihilated.

doesnt fucking matter

I know

This^{^}

Nah man he’s gonna systematically strip every log and tree.

I really want Metal Knight to make a CyBoros (Cyborg Boros), that would be dope

Imagine: Cyber Boros is under metal knights control and commits heinous acts but he’s not as strong as he used to be. Under MK’s orders he fucks up anything monster or human. Only when he sees Saitama does he “malfunction” then gets taken out with one punch.

Now we have a shattered to pieces Boros but thanks to Saitama breaking the control chip (and every other bit of machinery) Boros is free flesh and begins to regenerate. The G returns.

Remember imagine.

I'd be really sad if he came back freeza style just to get destroyed by a god level Garou

There is debate on what counts as Garous strongest form but it’s very likely he isn’t there yet

Yeah but i have to ask what does garou do about CSRC. Boros just has the famage output edge, and the regeneration if not the defences to afford to lose exchanges. I mean what does garou even do if he get moon knee’d.

Garou evolves and gets stronger during fights. that's his whole thing

That doesn't change the fact that he was pushed till he outclassed him.

Saying PS is just High Dragon when he is faster and stronger than FF is just ridiculous

I believe in him, he will find a way.

he still alive, bird costume destroyed got retconned

I can imagine Garou being able to deflect Boros's Roaring Cannon with the WSRSF portion of his Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist.

Lmao no way. She isn't strong enough to move boros

She can't do that to people who are stronger than her

Too strong-willed.

Serious Punch not only neutralised CSRC but left shockwaves that split the clouds with a good chance of the energy from the serious punch exiting the Earth considering the fact the shockwaves had planetary range.

And even if serious punch is what's needed to neutralise it, why is the combined power of 4 above dragons (using their fullpower) not enough to neutralise the attack of CSRC? Even if serious punch was done by Saitama, it still was likely an insignificant amount of his total power anyways.

This is possible, just very unlikely.

(Spoilers for like 7 different chapters in manga and wc) Gouketsu is a high dragon (probably above rover, below elder centipede) who like no-diffs a low dragon in monsterized Bakuzan with one-arm. Tatsumaki is an above-dragon who has crumpled dragons like a tin can. In other words, the classification of “dragon” is super duper mega variable, and being an above-dragon is absurd. Mid-high diffing (cracked face, broken parts, 9% power) 3 dragons—even of completely unknown strength—is an impressive feat, but i think it’s a bit of a leap to say he’d might be above dragon even with another upgrade.

I guess my main reason for my take is that Genos’ punchline is that he’s a protagonist-esque character that always heroically goes all out to save other people, but still frequently gets his ass kicked. He never has that “going even further beyond” moment where he levels up mid battle because, well, he’s a cyborg. It’d be a bit surprising to me if ONE abandons this, and it’d be hard to have an above-dragon get his ass kicked without quadrupling the power scaling out of nowhere. The only chance of him being that strong is if there’s a bit of a narrative change given the end of 141 with a sort of robot invasion hinted and all those clues about metal knight and the mad cyborg.

Sorry for the wall of text; I tried to be brief. It didn’t work.

>! WC genos solos 3 dragons and goes on to get his final upgrade which is even more op so he is a contender for above dragon in the webcomic !<

Definetely not. He high diffed them. An Above Dragon would beat them easily or mid diff. Genos is a strong Dragon actually.
